[MOPO] FA Boosting MoPoBid

2005-03-11 Thread JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia
Sites like MoviePosterBid and CQout need the support of all buyers and
sellers of movie memorabilia. Many have complained about eBay on this list
and you would think that they would be the first to support any venture that
creates some diversity in the hobby. I try to maintain listings on all of
these sites, although I will soon be going to London for a week or so no
auctions while I'm away.
I have a few good items on MoPoBid at the moment including a very rare
William Powell and Myrna Loy long daybill

 I've nothing praise for MoviePosterBid.  I've brought
 from Fred and PJ among others and have been very
 pleased.  Yes, the big dealers should rally around
 this site.  I think they'll be pleased.

 Soon we'll look back and wish for the good ole days.

  build site traffic, volume and prices while still

  could you put a link in from your site?

Re: [MOPO] Television Movies

2005-03-11 Thread J R



Gary,

I'm sure in recent years TV audiences have been abandoning watching films 
on TV for all of those reasons, and the fact that so many people now get cable 
channels that are devoted to movies (all shown uncut and without commercials). I 
noticed that there are far fewer films being shown on commercial TV anymore as 
the commercial-filled channels finally start to realize that they've killed that 
goose.

To answer your question about the '50s and '60s, well, it was pretty much 
the same. The only difference was there was far less time in an hour devoted to 
commercials... usually only a couple of 30-second spots every 10 or 15 minutes. 
Nothing like the oversaturation you have now, where they will sometimes go away 
from whatever you're watching for 5 to 8 minutes at a time. I watched the new 
CSI last night: There was a 60-second opening sequence, then the credits, then a 
full 7 MINUTES of commercials before they came back to the show. This kind of 
thing makes watching even series television a losing proposition. But as far as 
cutting the film to fit in the time allotted (and to suit someone's "moral" 
standards), yeah, that was done a lot back then. Perhaps even more than it is 
now.

2005-03-11 Thread Bruce Carteron
Hi Gary  Mopo members: No - it was horrible! Lots of commercial breaks,
they cut scenes, bad prints (a million cue marks on every reel change) - but
it was where I first fell in love with old movies. I remember staying up
late to watch Shock Theater which showed the old Universal monster 
horror movies - and was shocked to see the local weatherman dressed up
like Dracula to introduce the films! Another famous incident - our local
station ran overtime with two many commercials - and cut the ending of
Citizen Kane which revealed what Rosebud was! I remember when South
Dakota got its first local television station (not until the late 50's) and
all they could afford were some cheap Columbia Pictures packages - but that
was great, because I got to see the Whistler and Boston Blackie, really
old Buck Jones films and very early talkies. The cartoons they ran were
old Felix the Cat and Oswald the Rabbit and they showed the silent Our
Gang comedies. Of course we got the early syndicated TV shows too (no
network at first) like Whirlybirds, Highway Patrol (10-4! 10-4!), Sea
Hunt, Jungle Jim and You Bet Your Life.
When I finally got to see classic films in the theater - I was blown away.
Totally entranced. I really don't understand why people don't like Black 
White - it was mesmerizing! I was totally absorbed by On the Waterfront
Kane (with the ending!), classic Bogart, Cagney, Flynn. So it was a mixed
blessing - got to see a lot of early, rare and classic stuff - but not very
well presented. - Bruce

films were pretty much complete when we used to see them back then.. but
keep in mind, there were also only commercial breaks of  afew minutes per
hour si I think we used to get 28 total minutes of show to 2 of
commercials.. Today we get 3-5 minutes of commercials in each break so TV
shows are as short as 40-44 mins per hour. What used to be edited out were
bloody scenes and that was pretty much it

Re: [MOPO] Television Movies

2005-03-11 Thread Joe Bonelli
Hi, Gary, et. al.
Bruce and JR are right on about it all.  Films were chopped a lot-- and they 
were, of course, ALL in black and white and there wasn't even a notion of 
letterboxing until recent years.
We had wonderful stuff on tv for kids in the afternoons.  A local station got 
hold of the Buster Crabbe/Flash Gordon serials.  I just loved them-- 
particularly the old cars and trucks.   Even then the special effects seemed 
cheesy but I loved them anyway.
And we saw, first in the kiddy-show theatre and then on tv as well, the 
re-vamped talkies of Our Gang-- which became The Little Rascals for those 
re-releases and tv packages.  They were so hysterically funny-- and still are!  
I think that's where I got my affinity for the depression-era kids and their 
raggedy clothes and Aw, gee manner of speech.  And interestingly, the fact 
that black and white kids went to school and played together in these films, 
was ignored by theatre owners that would never have played a mainstream film 
that showed the same thing.  I guess they thought it was harmless.  But I 
noticed that then.  Perhaps it was the beginnings of my seeing through the 
hypocrisy of racism in  my homeland-- the American South.  (And why I have no 
tolerance for it today-- from either side!!!)
Funny thing, though.  I collect various things-- mostly lobbies-- from that era 
featuring those kids, but haven't got a thing from either the original Our 
Gang or later Little Rascals series.
Maybe one of these days.
Joe-

Re: [MOPO] Television Movies

2005-03-11 Thread Michael Spampinato

It was wonderful and terible at the same time. Often films were horribly cut to fit the time slots. But this was way before even VHS (I would sometimes tape record the audio to my favorites)and being a 50's kid, I loved watching the old movies. Creature Feature and Creature Double Feature and Phantasmic Features (with Feep as the host). As was mentioned, the Shock Theater release of the Universal Classic horror movies. I recall Mystery theater which showed Sherlock Holmes (Rathbone/Bruce, Charlie Chan and even Mister Moto). I caught Bogart Week when I was about 11 - 1960 or '61. He quickly became a favorite and, along with him, Cagney and Edward G. Robinson.

Yes, sometimes snowy. Often cut. No letterboxing so either badly cut off or even worse, compressed so everyone was 10 feet tall! But I wouldn't trade my memories of looking through the weekly tv listings to see what was on those four channels (and if the weather was right you could add New Hampshire's Channel 9!!!) and, a bit later, those 3 new UHF channles! Wow1 We got seven freaking channels of tv
It was a great time!

[MOPO] Recording Audio

2005-03-11 Thread Tom A. Pennock



Glad to hear someone else recorded audio soundtracks from television before 
VCR's. I still have many audio reel to reel tapes of movie soundtracks 
recordedfrom many years ago. Boy are the kid's spoiled today!!! They walk 
into a video store and buy GWTW or The Wizard Of Oz right off the shelf.

There was a dealer by the name of Buddy McDanielwho used to sell 
vinyl LP records custom made of movie soundtracks. They cost about $100.00 per 
title. Those were the good old days!!!

Buddy, are youon the MOPO server list?

 All,

 I am happy and proud to say was the third seller to list on MPB on the
 day it was activated online. Since then I have support MPB the best I
 can, although I really don't consider myself a seller, in the seller
 sense of the word. I'm just a collector with a lot of stuff.

 From 1998 to 2004 one of the Hot Topics With A Bullet on MoPo was the
 lack of alternative auction sites to eBay, usually started by Super
 Sellers bitching about one thing or another (yawn); feedback, mostly.
 Then members would climb on that band wagon for awhile with pitchforks
 and burning torches, all storming the eBay castle.

 Along comes JR. He's heard it all before, too.  What does he do? He
 takes on the dare and creates MPB! Man, I thought that was freaking
 incredible and vowed then and there to support the site whenever I
 could.

 You'd think his endevour would be greeted with fanfare and confette.
 Nope. I'm still reading the same old bitches, but now with a twist:
 The alertnate site is there, in place, but MPB won't work; it isn't
 the RIGHT alternate to eBay.
 No one bids, no one lists, too expensive, too cheap. Huh? What the
 heck do you want, anyway?

 One of my favorite bitches and reasons to avoid MPB that I read was
 after ten minutes of sitting idle, you have to sign back in. Uh huh...
 awful.

 There was one guy on MoviePosterTalk that said, and I quote, ...but i
 really think it doesn't work. i did hear of the site before but i
 really never took a look at it and i dont think many people do..

 He never really took a look at the site but he thinks it doesn't work. Great.

Just listening to only the soundtrack from the right movie can be loads of 
fun. I first discovered this with the original film version of THING FROM 
ANOTHER WORLD. I was laid up in bed with a back injury and couldn't turn over 
easily. I happened to be lying facing away from the TV when THE THING came on a 
late-night local station. I just lay there facing a blank wall and listened to 
it and was amazed to discover that the dialog and sound effects were so strong 
-- and the directing and pacing sotight -- that it played 
beautifully as an old-style radio drama and that I didn't need the pictures at 
all.

It's hard for younger people to truly get the idea that it wasn't so long 
ago that you could NOT watch any movie you wanted in your home at your whim. No, 
it used to be that you either saw it at the theater for the weekor two it 
was showing in your town --orjust waiteduntilthe movie 
finallycame to TV (which took about3 to5 years from the time a 
film was released). If you missed themovie the night it aired on your 
local station, you were just out of luck. You had to wait until it aired 
again... which could be months or years... if it ever did. That was it -- that 
wasthe only way to watch movies (unless you had your own film 
projector).

I purchased the very first commercial model VCR the day it hit the shelves 
-- and there were no pre-recorded tapes of movies available for it. None. There 
was only blank tape (and it was fairly expensive). The idea was that you would 
record the shows off-the-air (or cable if you had it). It actually took a couple 
of years for them to realize that they could start selling movies on video 
tapecassettes to the general public. The first to appear were incredibly 
expensive -- priced between $79 and $129 each! For one movie! Hard to believe, I 
know, but true. Video tape rental stores took another year or two to appear in 
most towns. And this wasn't back in the caveman days, folks -- this was after 
STAR WARS was released -- in 1978, a mere 27 years ago!

   HI from Joe B.A friend of mine was a drive-in theatre 
  projectionist in the 60s. He dubbed the entire soundtrack of Gone With 
  the Wind onto an eight-track tape for us. You could listen and be as 
  drawn in as if you were in the theatre. Just like radio drama.It 
  just goes to show you the effect a well-performed good script can have on a

Ah, JR, memories are made of this! Norah? Another 
cocktail please. 

It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon down here in 
Soldiers Point. I've been working all day on our upcoming recent acquisitions 
E-mail-out for our website, while Mila works on our Movie Poster Bid listings 
for the coming week meanwhile trying to get an answer from eBay about 
something - a robot reply says it will take perhaps 72 hours for a what? 
another robot reply that answers nothing of our question (and quite an important 
one as far as we are concerned, but do they care??)

Our planned move to website-only sales and 
auctions through Movie Poster Bid looks better every time I get some idiotic 
response from an eBay robot-reply that does NOT address my question or sends me 
to a link that has a bunch of drop-down box questions that do NOT relate to my 
current issue. Indeed, eBay won't confirm that what may be a spoof scam email 
did NOT emanate from them. That's right folks. Send one of their emails off to 
spoof @ and while they will come back fast when they KNOW it's not from them, 
they are VERY slow in coming back in admitting that YES, they sent this email to 
you. Considering it's saying that you had requested a change to certain rather 
important preferences that you HADN'T requested, it seems mighty strange that 
they cannot confirm or deny that they sent it in the first place.

Norah! Another cocktail, please, my 
dear.

And JR's post reminded me (as Tom Pennock's did 
elsewhere) of just what a big thing listening to, and recording audio movie 
tracks was back in the pre-video days when indeed - here in Australia, just like 
there, movies took 3-5 years to get to TV - or you had to wait for a re-release. 
And NO colour TV pre 1972!!!

Oh, well, as the old saying goes, "head down and 
bum up" and back to work!
Have a nice weekend everybody. We promised an 
eye-waterer for our first Recent Acquisitions mail out, and they surely are they 
that. If we don't have your email address on our list, get it into us. No spam, 
no selling on your email address, no nonsense about how you can't trust anybody 
butus- just first notification of our latest, never offered before 
(by us) movie material.

[MOPO] Catalog for Bruce's Linenback Sale

2005-03-11 Thread J R



I don't know if Bruce has really left the MOPO building (again) or not, but 
he has justput up an advance catalog of the 307 linenbacked items he'll be 
auctioning off next week, and there's some nice stuff to be sure. It will be 
interesting to see how this sale counterpoints with the Heritage blow-out going 
on at the same time. Plenty of fireworks to watch, even if you're not buying. 
One thing for certain, a bunch of folks will be lighter in the wallet 11 days 
from now... For those who couldn't make the secret link tothe 
advancecatalog work, here is one that actually takes you there -- posted 
as a public service by Poster Curmudgeons for a Better Tomorrow ("It's after 
midnight... do you know where your next posters are?") --

I once recorded part of the Walkabout soundtrack from television onto a crappy Panasonic cassette recorder (probably the same recorder I used to save my Apple II data files). I was quite relieved a few decades later when John Barry finally released a version of the Walkabout theme on CD.

Glad to hear someone else recorded audio soundtracks from television before VCR's. I still have many audio reel to reel tapes of movie soundtracks recorded from many years ago. Boy are the kid's spoiled today!!! ...
